Reveal + Ordering Appointments
You've been in front of my camera.
Now you get to see what I saw.
We'll sit down with your finished photographs, find the ones you love, and decide how you want to enjoy them. I'll guide you through the choices, all the way to your final order.

Good Photographs. Thoughtful Decisions.
You Don't Have to
Choose Them Alone.
If you love two similar portraits, I'll help you look at the expression, the crop, and how each one works with the rest of your favorites. Sometimes the quiet photograph makes the best opening page. Sometimes one bold image deserves a wall of its own.
Your reveal gives us time to work through those decisions together. You bring your reactions and ideas. I'll bring a photographer's eye and practical guidance about what will work.
Inside Your Appointment
First, We Look.
Then, We Make a Plan.
From the first look
to the finished piece
See Your Finished Photographs
01
We begin by looking through the images together. Give yourself a moment to take them in before worrying about which ones belong in your order.
02
Find Your Favorites
Tell me what catches your eye. I'll help you compare similar images and narrow the selection around the photographs you keep coming back to.
03
Give Them a Place
We'll consider an album, individual prints, wall art, or digital images, then talk through size, finish, and which photographs work together.
04
Make Your Selections + Order
I'll walk you through your choices and total before you place your order. This is also when we discuss the payment arrangement for your purchase.
Choose How You Keep Them
How Will You Live With
Your Photographs?
Start with how you want to enjoy the images. I'll help you work out the format from there.
A Place for the Whole Story
Turn the Pages.
Keep Coming Back.
An album makes room for the close-ups, the full-length portraits, and the photographs that make more sense together. I'll help you choose a sequence that gives each image room.
It's a lovely way to keep a boudoir collection private, hold a senior year in one place, or bring a family's portraits together.
Luxury Albums
Individual Prints, Kept Together
Hold a Favorite.
Change the Display.
A folio box holds separate prints you can take out, look through, and display individually. You can keep the collection together while changing which photograph has a place on your dresser or desk.
We'll choose images that work as individual portraits and feel right as a collection.
Folio Boxes
A Photograph With a Place in Your Home
Let's Find
Its Wall.
Bring a photograph of the space and its measurements. I'll help you consider the size, crop, and finish in relation to the room.
We can compare canvas, metal, acrylic, or framed artwork around the image you've chosen. A large statement piece and a smaller portrait for a private room call for different decisions.
Wall Art
Keep, Share + Use
Your Photographs,
Printed or On Your Screen.
We can order individual prints for a frame or to give as gifts. If you'd like digital copies, I'll explain the high-resolution and social-sharing options before you order.
For branding and headshots, we'll talk through where you'll use your photographs and which files make sense for your business.

A Little Thought Before We Meet
Bring Your Ideas.
I'll Help With
the Decisions.
From the first look
to the finished piece
A Photo of Your Wall
01
If you're considering wall art, take a straight-on photo of the space and note the wall or furniture measurements
02
An Idea of Your Budget
Review the current artwork and collection options. Tell me what you're comfortable spending so I can guide you toward choices that fit.
03
Anyone Helping With the Order
Consider involving the person sharing the selection or purchase decisions. For intimate photographs, include only someone you're comfortable viewing them with.
04
Any Dates That Matter
Let me know early if your artwork is a gift or needed for an occasion. We'll talk through the timing before making plans around it.
Your Reveal Can Happen From Home.
Same Guidance.
A Different Place to Meet.
If coming back to the studio doesn't work for you, we can meet virtually through Zoom or Google Meet. We'll look through the photographs and work through your selections together.
Please let me know before your session so we can arrange a virtual Reveal + Ordering Appointment.
For the clearest view, use a laptop or desktop and choose a quiet, private place where you can give the photographs your attention.
The Purchase, Explained
See Them First.
Then Choose Your Collection.
Your Creative Fee includes this appointment. Finished photographs, digital images, and artwork are purchased separately. I'll go through the options and your total with you before you place your order.
Payment plans are available. Let's discuss the arrangement before ordering so you know what to expect.
Albums and wall art generally take 4–6 weeks to produce. Custom products are delivered after your purchase or payment plan is paid in full. Custom purchases are final; see the Investment page for current terms.
Before You Wonder
A Few Questions,
Answered.
When will my Reveal + Ordering Appointment happen?
Generally within two to four weeks of your session. I'll coordinate the appointment with you. If you need a virtual appointment, please tell me before your session.
Do I choose a collection before I see my photographs?
You choose after seeing the finished photographs. Looking at the Investment page beforehand helps you plan your budget, but you don't have to guess which images you'll love before they exist.
Can I purchase only digital images?
Yes. Digital image options are available. I'll explain the difference between high-resolution and social media files, along with what is included in the option you select.
Is this appointment only for boudoir sessions?
It's part of the portrait experience across my work: luxury boudoir, fitness, editorial portraits, family, seniors + graduates, and branding + headshots. What we choose will reflect the photographs and how you want to use them.
Will purchasing boudoir photographs allow you to share them?
Purchasing an image and giving permission to publish it are separate choices. Your photographs can stay private. I only share according to the image-use permissions established for your session.
When will albums, folio boxes, and wall art be delivered?
Signature albums and signature wall art generally take four to six weeks to produce. Custom products are delivered after the balance or payment plan has been paid in full.
What if I need an album or artwork by a particular date?
Tell me before booking whenever possible. We need to consider the session, your reveal, and artwork production when discussing whether the timing will work for your occasion.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Major credit and debit cards are accepted, along with payment plans through Zelle, Affirm, and Klarna. A 5% discount is available when the full purchase is paid in cash (or Venmo) on the day of the ordering appointment.
Are purchases refundable?
Because photographs, digital files, and artwork are custom products, all purchases are final and non-refundable. Applicable taxes are added at checkout, and pricing may change without notice.
Something else on your mind?
A Personal Note From Ali
I Care About What
Happens After the Session.
The photographs we make deserve a place in your life. I'll help you figure out what that looks like, whether it's an album you keep private, a family portrait above the fireplace, or a headshot that finally feels like you.
Bring me your favorites, your questions, and the wall you can't quite figure out. We'll work through it together.
